    Slimebag

    I agree. For me it is the #1 problem I have. I switched to the TFP method mid last season and my pool has been PERFECT all summer for the 1st time in 12 years. What a great site!

    Ideal PH for Saltwater?

    Yes, I've read that before. I've also seen that with a heater it is recommended to keep the PH a little higher 7.5-7.6. Just looking for confirmation if that is correct.

    Stains are everywhere. Steps, bottom, sides. I believe the walls are steel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Metals In Water

    No well water. The stains are brown and cover the entire surface of the vinyl liner in varying degrees of darkness. I've done the Ascorbic Acid treatment several times but the stain always comes back. Even with the sequest at the correct levels. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Metals In Water

    I have had metal stains for the last few years. Tried all of the obvious ways to 'hide' them. This spring I'm thinking of draining and starting over. I'm guessing the metals are coming from my tap water. Is there some type of filter available to filter out the metals from the water as I fill?
